Truth About HIV/AIDS Printable Version PRINTABLE VERSION

AIDS is short for acquired immune deficiency syndrome. AIDS is a disease that slowly destroys the body's immune system. Without these important defenses, a person with AIDS can't fight off germs and cancers.

HIV is the virus that causes AIDS. It kills an important kind of blood cell -- the CD4 T lymphocyte, or T cell. These T cells are the quarterbacks of the immune system. As they die off, the body becomes more and more vulnerable to other diseases. Germs take this opportunity to invade the body. The diseases they cause are called opportunistic infections (OI). When people with HIV get these infections -- or when their CD4 T-cell levels get too low, the result is AIDS.

Usually it takes many years for HIV to weaken the body's immune system to the point of AIDS. Anti-HIV drugs help prevent this. Even when a person already has AIDS, the drugs can help a person get better.

Anti-HIV drugs let many people with the HIV infection live healthier lives. Combinations of these powerful medicines work very well, but they often have serious side effects, such as vomiting, diarrhea, and fatigue. And people with HIV have to keep taking these drugs every day for the rest of their lives. Ask anyone who's taking these "drug cocktails". It's best to avoid getting HIV in the first place.

AIDS is a worldwide epidemic. Most cases are in Africa, but the disease is spreading most rapidly in Eastern Europe and Asia. Even if a cure were found tomorrow, AIDS will be the most deadly disease ever to plague mankind.

HIV -- human immunodeficiency virus -- causes AIDS. HIV infection is for life. There is no cure, but anti-HIV drugs keep HIV in check. Unfortunately, 95% of the world's HIV infected people cannot afford this medicine.

There are a few people who say HIV does not cause AIDS. Some are scientists, but none of them are AIDS experts. They offer only false hope and no answers. Overwhelming medical and scientific evidence shows that HIV is the AIDS virus. Every major health organization in the world says that HIV is a killer.

There are two main types of HIV -- HIV-1 and HIV-2. HIV-2 is rare outside Africa.
You can't catch HIV unless another person's body fluids -- blood, semen, or vaginal secretions -- enter your bloodstream. This can happen through the tip of the penis, through the vagina, through the rectum, or through an open wound.
HIV is spread:

• By having sex without a condom. Vaginal and anal sex carries a high risk. The risk of getting HIV from oral sex is low.

• By sharing needles and/or syringes to inject drugs or steroids.

• From a mother to her infant during pregnancy, delivery, or breastfeeding.
• By transfusions, blood products, or organ transplants. This kind of transmission no longer happens in developed countries, which test all donated blood and organs for HIV.

Since HIV/AIDS is a much stigmatized subject, many believe that HIV is contracted through kissing, toilet seats, or contacts of other bodily fluids to closed skin. Fortunately science and research has proved otherwise.
